Following the altercation at the Champion of Champions cricket match, Cleveland County Cricket Club announced that Jason Anderson is banned from representing the club in all sporting activities for life.

Cleveland President Carlton Smith Jr. said, “Cleveland County Cricket Club [CCCC] would like to announce that as a result of the incident at the recent Champions of Champions final, Mr. Jason Anderson is hereby banned from representing the club in all sporting activities for life.

“The executive and members of CCCC do not condone the behaviour of Mr. Anderson. We view these matters seriously and as a community club this is not the type of behaviour that we expect from members of the club, nor the example that we would like to set for our junior players.

“The Club would like to thank Mr. Anderson for his contributions to the success the club has experienced over the last few years as he has been an integral part of that success. We urge Mr. Anderson to seek assistance for his anger issues and the club is willing to help him with these efforts, if he is willing.

“We would like to apologize to the general public for the scenes witnessed during the Champions of Champions final, as this is not the image that Cleveland County Cricket Club wish to portray.”

Since BBCC want to set things straight why not give the Junior County cup to Cleveland since Bay forfeited ? Instead of saying it can’t be found but it’s displayed in your bar. Hmmnnn??? Then all will be right would you agree? Before you assume, I am for neither team. Mostly I am for cricket.

I say what a childish way to set a example for your youth team BBCC. its only teaching them how to be sore losers, most likely the youths know each other outside of cricket. Just remember they only learn what they see.

Ok now Cleveland stepped up and showed no tolerance for such horrible behavior…now will BCB do the same? It would be appreciated if they did the same…as spectators like to go out to these games and we want to enjoy a safe and good game of cricket.

Excellent stand Mr. smith… However, It would have been just as responsible of your establishment to have taken the same stand a few months ago after the “ugly scenes” at county cup… Again, this is an excellent decision….kudos
